Tom Cruise has apparently rented a helicopter to take him to and from his latest movie set.

The Mission Impossible star is in the UK filming All You Need Is Kill and it seems he decided that taking a chopper to work beat any other form of transport.

The Hollywood star - who recently split from wife Katie Holmes after five years of marriage - has hired a helicopter which was designed by Hermes for the whole time he's in England making the sci-fi action flick, reported The Sun.

Last week Tom brought part of London to a standstill when his movie team shut down Trafalgar Square so the actor could shoot a helicopter scene.

Photos showed the 50-year-old landing the chopper in the middle of the deserted square, near Nelson's Column.

The film, which also stars Emily Blunt, follows a soldier (Tom) who re-lives his last day over and over after being killed in a war against aliens.
